I make products that use that package. I want all the packages I depend on to be compatible with my license. I don’t want to run into an audit years from now during due diligence that I have some liability from an incompatible license.
I can’t afford lawyers to determine compatibility today. And I suspect that they would say “not compatible, pay to be safe.”
This sounds more like an issue with the licensing world itself than with this license, which by itself is pretty simple and won't affect you except in the case you offer your products containing Elastic as a service to third parties.

That’s the difference to me as a user.
